TECH boss Andy Byron and his HR chief were spotted “all over each other” moments before they were caught on a kiss cam at a Coldplay gig.
Filmed from behind their seats, footage shows the pair silhouetted by stage lights as Coldplay performed “Yellow” at Boston’s Gillette Stadium.

In the new video, released by TMZ, the duo are seen hugging and swaying to the music while the crowd lights up the stadium with their phones.
At one point, Byron leans in to kiss Cabot — suggesting the behaviour captured on the kiss cam wasn’t a one-off.
They appear relaxed and affectionate — a stark contrast to the panicked expressions seen when the kiss cam later caught them on the jumbotron.
“They were all over each other even when they weren’t on the kiss-cam,” TMZ claimed.
“This rear-view shows a much more intimate interaction.”
An earlier video captured the pair visibly shocked as they appeared on the stadium’s kiss cam.
Chris Martin, Coldplay’s frontman, commented live on stage: “They’re either having an affair… or they’re very shy.”
Seconds later, Byron dropped his arm and ducked behind a barrier while Cabot covered her face.
As he caught view of himself, Byron appeared to say “f****** hell, it’s me”.
Martin added, laughing nervously: “Oh s***, I hope we didn’t do something bad.”
A night later, Martin cracked a joke with another couple on the kiss cam after accidentally catching the tech boss allegedly cheating with his HR chief.
The fan who captured the original kiss cam moment told The U.S. Sun she had no idea the couple were senior tech executives.
She said: “I just thought I caught an interesting reaction to the kiss cam and decided to post it. A part of me feels bad… but, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”
Even longer footage has since dropped, showing the full reaction of panicked “mistress” Kristin Cabot.
Further revelations have since emerged claiming Cabot is still married to another powerful CEO.
Property records obtained by the Daily Mail from earlier this year list the couple as “husband and wife”.
Her wedding ring was not visible during the Coldplay concert.
Byron is also married. His wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron, has since removed his surname from her social media accounts before deleting them altogether.
Neither Byron nor Cabot has responded to media requests for comment.
Both executives have been placed on leave, Axios reports, with Byron said to be negotiating an exit package.
Astronomer confirmed the suspensions and launched a formal investigation shortly after the incident.

The company said: “Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding.
“The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.”
The firm has also named co-founder Pete DeJoy as interim CEO.
Byron had been CEO of Astronomer – valued at over $1.3billion – since July 2023.
Cabot, who goes by Kristin Cabot Thornby on LinkedIn, joined as Chief People Officer nine months ago.
When Cabot was appointed, Byron called her a “proven leader” with “exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management.”
Cabot previously boasted on her LinkedIn profile that she “wins trust with employees of all levels, from CEOs to managers to assistants.”
The scandal has triggered widespread attention even among former employees.
One ex-colleague told The New York Post that group chats were exploding as people were “laughing their a** off” after seeing Byron caught on camera.
The executive was described as a “sales-obsessed” leader with a reportedly “toxic” management style.
Social media has also been flooded with memes and fake statements from Byron and Coldplay.
A fake post attributed to Coldplay suggested they would introduce “camera-free zones” for concertgoers with “sidepieces.”
